Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.”

I don’t control life.

I control my reactions and actions but not much else.

When I try to manipulate life, people, and places, I end up exhausted. It’s not my domain. It’s not up to me to control outcomes. 

All I can do is follow my heart, my inner GPS, and see what happens. I am a passenger in this body, on this blue planet of ours.

I am here to experience both the good and the bad. I am here to learn and to grow. To cry and to laugh.
